Well, if you hold down the ctrl key and hit the right mouse button,
you will get a menu of "VT Fonts" and select "Large" or "Huge".

Or you could do what I've done -- Make a "my_xterm" shell script:

##############################################

#!/bin/sh
#
export LANG=C
export XTERM_LOCALE=C

exec xterm \
        -fa lucidatypewriter -fs 16 \
        -fg green \
        -bg black $*

##############################################

I find the green on black much easier to read than other combinations.
